HOW PREVENT ANARCHY
Piper before Grangers on the Impor
tant Question of How to Prevent An
archy from Becoming a Menace
to Future Citizenship.
Paper opening discussion at Har
mony Pomona Grange, Aug. 6, 1913,
North Hsde Park, by Rev. John Elliot
Bowman formerly of Westfield.
There are always two courses open
to a speaker on an occasion like this.
He can look the facts in the face, rec
ognize dangers, and suggest remedies ;
or he can spin rainbows, generalize
concerning the glory of our free insti
tutions and the beauty of the Star Span
gled banner, calmly forgetful of the
fact that other speakers did the same
thing on every Fourth of July in the
forties and fifties of the last century
when our nation's life was in peril
from the curse of African slavery, and
when the cloud of war. rolling from
the southern horizon drew ever nearer
to the zenith.
The waving of the flag has ever been
a popular act. It has been made to
cover a multitude of sins. Little Tom
my was uttering a truth far beyond his
childish understanding when in answer
to the school director's rhetorical ques
tion: "Children why is that flag upon
the wall before us? Why is that flag
placed there?" he replied with the as
surance of one who knew: "To hide
the dirt!"
Permit me to say that in our own
state there is sometimes a peculiar
exhibition of this disposition. We can
make a few sounding allusions to
Ethan Allen and Ticonderoga, pro
claim once more the fact that Vermont
was at the front at Gettysburg;
sound the praises of our mountain
streams, in which we have poisoned a
large proportion of the fish ; sing the
beauty of our mountain highways,
which we render attractive to summer
visitors with many-colored billboards
and the announcements of the tobacco
trust; and finally sit down in sweet
content, having said just what we
were expected to say.
The practical question before us to
day is, "What can we in Vermont do
to prevent the spirit of anarchy from
becoming a menace to the youth of the
state?" We are not here to point out
the sins of Californians or to lament
ever the way they do things in Massa
chusetts or in Connecticut.
The reply of quite a number of our
citizens will be "Keep the foreigner
out and maintain the old red school
house. " There are those who, as we
all know, will consider that a sufficient
answer. They are either entirely
ignorant or carelessly overlook the fact
that the foreigners whom they so des
pise have received, before coming to
this country, education beside which
that obtainable in many of the "red
schoolhouses" looks like a jack-o'-lantern
beside an arc light.
Some of those despised foreigners
can converse intelligently in three or

COUNTY COURT.
The attention of the court all of last
week was taken up with the case of
W. H. Degreenia vs. the town of
Barton which was begun Wednesday
morning. Degreenia claimed to have
sustained injuries by an accident when
his team went over an approach to the
Mason bridge on the West Glover road
about a mile out of Barton village, on
the evening of July 5, 912. He
claimed there was not a proper guard
along this place. The town claim that
Degreenia was intoxicated and that
this, was contributory to the accident.
The amount asked of the town in the
suit wa?s $1000. !
The prosecution was represented by
F. W. Baldwin of Barton and H. B.
Howe of St. Johnsbury. Many wit
nesses were presented by them who
saw or talked with Degreenia on the
evening of the accident who say
nothing about him to indicate that he
was intoxicated or in any way not en
tirely in full possession of all his
faculties. The injuryDegreenia claimed
to have sustained was to his side Which
incapacitates him to a degree for his
ordinary manual labors.
The defense, represented by W .W.
Reirden of Barton and J. W. Redmond
of Newport, had an equal number of
witnesses who testified that Degreenia
was "drunk" just before the accident.
A physician to whom the Degreenias
went after the accident testified that
he did not complain of being hurt to
any degree that night and did not
even care to be examined but was
anxious about his wife whom the
physican examined. The defense also
produced evidence that Mrs. Degreenia
purchased alcohol on a prescription on
the aay of July 5.
Thecase went to the jury Monday
evening about 5 o'clock. During the
forenoon Tuesday they reported it was
probable that they could not agree,
whereupon Judge Waterman gave
them to distinctly understand that
they ought to agree if possible. Late
in the day they returned and reported
that they had agreed upon awarding
Degreenia $150.

SACBATH MORNING.
With xNm iiwe I luiil he sacrttl
mors-
That slowly wakes while all th
nld- art still. '
A soothiiif: calm on every breeze
is borne. .
A graver murmur gurgles from
the rill. '
And e ?io answers softer from
the hill.
And softer sinss the linnet from
the thorn.
The skylark warbles la a tone
less shrill.
Hail, lijrht serener Hall. saerel

The gales that lately sish

The hoteriiij; rock of clouds for

So smiled the day when the first
mom arose.
